Ukrainian Design Brands on Maison&Objet 2018 (Paris)

This year, Ukraine will be presented at Maison&Objet 2018 for the first time at a joint booth of Ukrainian manufacturers of furniture and light. This suggests not only that the overall national level of objective design is increasing, but also that the design and creative industry in Ukraine is an integral part of the country’s cultural brand.

Maison&Objet is an extraordinary opportunity for Ukrainian design brands not only to access the global industrial design community, but also to stay there firmly through the commercial viability of a large-scale Paris salon.

The participants of the first collective booth at Maison&Objet, which is called «Ukrainian Design Brands», were selected on a competitive basis. These will be promising companies from five cities of Ukraine. This is Kharkiv studio Ryntovt Design, Lviv brand grid-idea.com in collaboration with Hochu rayu. design bureau, Kyiv brand NOOM, led by designer Kateryna Sokolova, the manufacturer of lighting fixtures from Odessa Yalanzhi Objects, and furniture company ZEGEN (Cherkassy).

The project is supported by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and financed under the initiative of the EU4Business European Union.
